3 out of 6 guys in my interview group had over 2000 hours of TT (and more) (7000+, 3000+, 2000+) and all 6 of us had 121 experience.

The 3 with the highest times did NOT get invited to stay. The 3 that did get invited to attend day two, are below 2000. The 3 of us had internal recs, not sure if the other guys did or not. From what I heard from the guys that didn't make it, all the interviewing went well. I'm thinking they're looking for a mix of lower time (this is a relative statement) so you won't ditch out once things pick up, and 121 experience.

In my opinion, it seems their "ideal" candidate has;
-somewhere between 1500-2500 hours
-121 experience
-internal rec
-NO 121 checkride failures
(They're really looking for this, the FAA is all over them because of 3407), -minimal initial training pink slips
-low marketability so you don't leave the second things get better (737 type, et al)

But that's just my opinion. In reality I have no clue what eagle's "ideal candidate" is.
